In vienna since thursday afternoon after a spontanous prostest, students took over the main auditorium from the main university. since then around 2000 students are occupying several parts of the main building of the university. they stay over night and are formating work groups to organize their approaches. from a spontanous protest it developed in 4 days to a institution and new podest for public discussions for a new political approach inside their university. they are interconnected through all the possible media plattforms and have already their own website with live stream and constant updates of their petitions. many other Austrian, including Italian, German and Croatian students in other universtites, spoke out for them and are triggering similar actions.
